Okay, airlines sometimes lie because of misinformation or because of other reasons. Passengers have come to recognize these events as troublesome and unique to the airline industry. We would be complaining about the movie theaters if they:
- started our movie late = flight delays
- told us wrong movie theater = gate info
- sent us to another movie theater = put on another flight
- sold more tickets than seats = involuntary bumping
and of course.....
- decided not to show the movie we paid for because not enough people bought tickets! = cancelling flights sometimes

Hmm, then again for only $8 I get a plush stadium seat with a lot of leg room for about 2 hours instead of packed in for an 8 hour flight.
